About
Mr Mokawem is a consultant spinal surgeon based at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust which is renowned for being at the pinnacle of complex spinal surgery and deformity surgery, specialising in all aspects of spinal surgery with a particular interest in paediatric and adult spine deformities. He advises on non-operative and operative management and supports patients in making fully informed decisions. He uses minimally invasive techniques, computer navigated surgery, robotic assisted surgery and traditional open techniques as appropriate. His paediatric scoliosis practice encompasses the full repertoire of management strategies including vertebral body tethering in selective cases.
Mr Mokawem's private practice is at the Cleveland Clinic London for adult patients and at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Private Care for children and adolescents.
Mr Mokawem completed the prestigious National Spine Surgery Fellowship at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals in 2018. This is a combined neurosurgical and orthopaedic spine surgery fellowship which covers the breadth of spinal surgery and the full spectrum of spinal conditions in both paediatric and adult patients. Additionally, he completed a complex spine surgery fellowship at the internationally renowned Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in 2017. This included minimally invasive and computer navigated surgery, paediatric deformity surgery and spinal tumour surgery.
Mr Mokawem has presented at national and international spine surgery conferences and has published in peer-reviewed journals.
He is passionate about teaching and is a faculty member for the Royal College of Surgeons of England Advanced Trauma Life Support and Training the Trainers courses.
Outside of work he spends as much time as possible with his wife and daughters, cycling along traffic free routes. He enjoys playing golf and tennis when work allows.
Please note:
